Since the middle of 2005, all Lincoln cents have been struck with inverted dies (reverse die as hammer die). Therefore, any MAD errors are to be found on the reverse face. Also, between 2002 and 2005 the vast majority of cents were also struck with inverted dies. Some US coins have been struck with inverted dies since 1992. Adoption of this setup was an ongoing, incremental process.
